[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1716083, member: 33751"] I was pushing 210 gr. Berger VLD's out of my 300 WSM. Getting one hole groups at 100yds I set out to longer ranges. At 700 yds I wasn't even hitting a sheet of plywood, let alone the paper target stapled to it. My only guess is that they destabilized along the way and tumbled. I switched bullets and have never had that problem again. I did note that the plastic tips on my other bullets melt and ruin my shots past 800yds. Hornady did some great research on this problem. Then developed heat resistant tips to prevent melting. Perhaps the tips are melting? [/QUOTE]
